Saturday yard work. Sunday in the shaking side box for (11) approaches, (2) engine fires, (2) V1 cuts, (5) go arounds…fillings loosened on all landings. Half a cold sandwich in the 90 seconds between sessions. So much glamour….<sarc>
Hope your weekend involved actual RVs LOL.

Another RV grin
Not the first time - quite possibly the last time for this particular passenger - but a good time. I took my 84 year old dad from Tx to Reno for some slot machine therapy this week. I used to go there all the time for the races, the Peppermill casino tried to lure me back giving me a promo for 3...

The Nearly Perfect Rocket II
I am fortunate to own one of the best examples of a Harmon Rocket II ever constructed. It won a Silver Lindy at Oshkosh in 2002 and I'm convinced it would've won Grand Champion if there was a way to show all the hidden innovation and features. The builder, David Howe, is an absolute genius. He...

RV-3B Dave's in Colorado
After removing the RH Pmag and changing some fittings, I managed to eliminate the interference and still have one of the hoses fit. It helped to have a strong shop light oriented carefully, as well as removing some of the LH Pmag’s leads. And I did buy a specialized wrench which proved...
